Kusan: City of Wolves Reviews
Ultimately, Kusan: City of Wolves takes a well-established concept and adds a very strong layer of identity on top of it. Fast and visceral gameplay is one of the title's highlights, alongside a sound design and aesthetic that impeccably accompany this journey of redemption. Despite occasional visual clutter amid the chaos, the game stands out as one of the most fun and memorable action experiences of the year.

Kusan: City of Wolves delivers stylish challenge, emotional storytelling, and punishing stages that offer plenty of replayability for those wishing to master their layouts.
"Kusan: City of Wolves" is a wonderfully over-the-top action spectacle in the style of "Hotline Miami." While the game looks like just another twin-stick retro shooter in pictures, it's a true adrenaline rush in action.

Steeped in style, with excellent animations, Kusan is a stunning neon world with its own unique way of telling a gritty story through a graphic novel. This game exceeded every expectation, even having played the demo. I sincerely hope we one day see a successor, even if it’s just to parry the brains out of every wolf once again.
"When Hotline Miami meets John Wick." Few games live up to a developer's pitch this perfectly. If you're looking for an adrenaline rush, Kusan: City of Wolves delivers. It's brutally difficult, but once it gets its hooks into you, it's hard to put down.

Kusan: City of Wolves is kinetic, deliberate, bloody, and fun. There are many ways to play it, which is commendable for individual expression and replayability. I hope it finds an audience and a tight community to show us how the game can really be played.
Since the Danish studio Dennaton Games no longer feels the need to expand the genre they defined, I’m glad that developers like CIRCLEfromDOT are adding their own “DOT” to the mix with games like Kusan: City of Wolves. On the one hand, it scratches that Hotline Miami itch that just won’t go away, but on the other hand, it also adds things you didn’t even know you were missing.
